fuck you and the horse you rode in on

From one of the first popular jokes using profanity:
Old West Bar, men playing poker. Lone Ranger comes in. "You're all under arrest for gambling!"
The poker players say, "Fuck you!"
"But I'm the Lone Ranger. These are my silver bullets, and that's my horse Silver!"
"Well then fuck you and the horse you rode in on!"
If you think I'm putting out my cigarette in my kitchen then fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Fuck you and your horse 

When telling somebody off, especially those who offend you in all senses (odour, appearance, tone of voice, impression of Tony Danza, etc.) you can say "Fuck you and your horse!" This basically states that you hate everything about them, because the "horse" is an analogy for what they bring with them. This meaning is strong mostly because you also hate their "horse" just because they own it, and for no other reason. You can also add-on things that they like, do, or carry around with them, this adds a personalization.
You:"Oh shit it's Johnson. I hate that guy."
Friend:"You should tell him off."
You:"Hey, Johnson!"
Johnson:"Yeah?"
You:"Fuck you and your horse."
Friend:"And your fucking coffee!"

<A man budges you in line at the supermarket>
You: Hey <taps guy on shoulder> You budged me.
Guy:Yeah, so what?
You: So fuck you and your horse. Back of the line, asshole.

<A person is next to you on the transit, talking on the phone way too loud>
You:Hey, Chatty Kathy!
CK: one sec-- Yeeah?
You: Fuck you, your horse, and your cell phone.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. 

I've read many of these "urban definitions" of the "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" phrase, and while most make sense, it's my experience that these individual metaphors are too specific. The OG definition is: Fuck you; a personal assault on the individual persona: "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on", extending that assault to any and everything associated with that individual.
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
